The Good Society

A Comparative Study of Denmark and Switzerland

By: Henrik Christoffersen,Michelle Beyeler,Reiner Eichenberger,Peter Nannestad,Martin Paldam

Denmark and Switzerland are small and successful countries with exceptionally content populations. However, they have very different political institutions and economic models. They have followed the general tendency in the West toward economic convergence, but both countries have managed to stay on top. They both have a strong liberal tradition, but otherwise their economic strategies are a welfare state model for Denmark and a safe haven model for Switzerland. The Danish welfare state is tax-based, while the expenditures for social welfare are insurance-based in Switzerland. The political institutions are a multiparty unicameral system in Denmark, and a permanent coalition system with many referenda and strong local government in Switzerland. Both approaches have managed to ensure smoothly working political power-sharing and economic systems that allocate resources in a fairly efficient way. To date, they have also managed to adapt the economies to changes in the external environment with a combination of stability and flexibility.

Grasping the Social Dynamics of Participatory Innovation

By: Henrik Sproedt

The chosen approach allows HS to move into truly original themes and conclusions. In an argument for the importance of social dynamics as key for innovation he elegantly moves beyond the established norms in innovation literature. HS skillfully manages to avoid a dogmatic critique of existing literature, and instead points to the need for diverse and complementary approaches and the need to combine them through more comprehensive and multi-faceted frameworks. In the work the author demonstrates a comprehensive insight into theories of play and games, and also contributes to knowledge by proposing a linking of different discourses that each in their way deal with social dynamics, e.g. institutional theory, social capital theory and the theory of complex responsive processes of relating."

Modern Solid Waste Management in Practice

The City of Malmö Experience

By: Anna Bernstad Saraiva Schott,Henrik Aspegren,Mimmi Bissmont,Jes la Cour Jansen

This book focuses on sustainable solid waste management in an urban context and gives an example of how a modern city can work with waste management for increased sustainability in close cooperation with the academy. The book describes challenges which the city is facing and presents a case on how these can be tackled based on several research and development projects performed in the City of Malmö over the last decade. In these projects, the city has worked as a test bed for new solutions, developed with and evaluated by the university. The projects and evaluations of the same have been developed with a multi-dimensional approach; including technical aspects, resource efficiency, economic parameters, information strategies towards households and user friendliness. Methods used for evaluation are presented in a comprehensive way together with a discussion on how results from performed evaluations have affected the solid waste management policy making in the city. The book describes a bridging over a commonly noticed gap between research on the one hand and policy making and technical management on the other. Several examples are given on how academy and real life and full-scale developments in the city can have a fruit-full collaboration, where feed-back from evaluation of made changes are used for continuous improvements – at the same time as the actual needs from the city forces the academy to develop new methods for evaluations and develop new solutions to previously un-known or un-addressed problems.

Natural Language in Business Process Models

Theoretical Foundations, Techniques, and Applications

By: Henrik Leopold

Natural language is one of the most important means of human communication. It enables us to express our will, to exchange thoughts and to document our knowledge in written sources. Owing to its substantial role in many facets of human life, technology for automatically analyzing and processing natural language has recently become increasingly important. In fact, natural language processing tools have paved the way for entirely new business opportunities. The goal of this book is to facilitate the automatic analysis of natural language in process models and to employ this analysis for assisting process model stakeholders. Therefore, a technique is defined that automatically recognizes and annotates process model element labels. In addition, this technique is leveraged to support organizations in effectively utilizing their process models in various ways. The book is organized into seven chapters. It starts with an overview of business process management and linguistics and continues with conceptual contributions on parsing and annotating process model elements, with the detection and correction of process model guideline violations, with the generation of natural language from process models and finally ends with the derivation of service candidates from process models.

Into The Wild

Die Outdoorküche

By: Mikael Einarsson,Henrik Francke,Gustav Lindström

Zurück zur Natur: Selbstversorgung und Nachhaltigkeit liegen voll im Trend. Lebensmittel mit den eigenen Händen herzustellen ist in unserer heutigen digitalisierten Welt eine Frage der Philosophie - und eine wahre Freude! Fleisch und Fisch treffen auf Feuer und Rauch - auf grundlegende, rustikale Zubereitungsarbeiten, die einen ganz eigenen, herrlichen Geschmack erzeugen. Zu Beginn unseres Abenteuers waren wir oft überrascht, mit derart einfachen Methoden so großartige Methoden hervorzubringen. Doch nach und nach wurden wir immer mutiger und haben Hähnchen oder Hecht in der Erdgrube gegart, Lamm und Flammkuchen im selbstgebauten Lehmofen gebacken, Käse und Butter selbst hergestellt, gewurstet, geräuchert, gebraut oder eingelegt - in 12 Projekten sind dabei über 100 köstliche Rezepte entstanden. Leicht verständliche Bauanleitungen zeigen dabei immer, wie wir vorgegangen sind und wie auch Sie eine Erdgrube anlegen, einen Trockenofen einrichten oder einen Lehm- oder Räucherofen bauen können. Für alle Projekte gilt: Es hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht.
